PunBB 1.3 extension development

TODO: Describe the steps to create the extension.

1. Create the wiki article for the extension and write the general idea and the specification there.
   • The page url must be http://punbb.informer.com/wiki/punbb13:<extension_id>, e.g. http://punbb.informer.com/wiki/punbb13:pun_pm.
   • You may also start the discussion in Forums to ask users to add their feature requests to the specification.
2. Add the ticket to the Trac (or just start a text file, if you have no Trac). List the main tasks to complete the extension.
3. To be invented: Create the automatic test (e.g. using pun_admin_simpletest) for all the features in your task-list.
4. Code them all! Follow your task-list and strike out done.
   • Commit your changes to the SVN separately: one feature or one bug fix is one commit. Do not commit multiple changes simultaneously.
   • BTW: Use SVN or other VCS. (I personally prefer Bazaar.)
5. Add the documentation to the wiki article.
   • Extension usage.
   • Extension customization and integration.
6. Publish extension in the extension repository (as soon as it passed all the automatic tests).
   • Third-party developers may propose their extensions to be reviewed and published in the repository.
7. Release the extension in Forums.
